Medical collection agencies employ a variety of tools and tactics to recover delinquent debts, including these activities:

Routine Phone Calls:

Although demand letters are issued as a formal process to provide leverage in case creditors have to sue for a balance owed, phone calls are the most common way Medical debt collectors will try to communicate with debtors.

Certified Demand Letters:

A formal demand letter is one of the first actions taken during B2B debt collection. These letters include a statement of the balance, information regarding how much needs to be paid, and a due date for the payoff.

Balance Payoff Negotiations:

Sometimes, B2B creditors authorize medical debt collectors to negotiate payment arrangements with their clients. These negotiations may include installment plans or discounted payoffs if the balance is cleared in full.

Medical Debt Collection:

How Does It Work?

Credit collection services for medical clients follow an efficient and effective process. Here at Collections Bureau of America, our debt recovery process follows best practice guidelines and regulations.  This process is outlined here:

  • Step One: You Notify Our Team of Non-Payment

    Once notified, we contact your debtor using a strategy involving letters, phone calls, and emails where appropriate.

  • Step Two: We Evaluate the Collection Progress

    Working closely with your debtor and you, we develop a collection strategy best suited to the situation. This could include:
    • A payment plan based on the debtor’s financial situation
    • Legal action
    • Continuous monitoring of the debtor

  • Step Three: We Liaise with Liquidators of the Debtor

    We develop and implement a strategy best suited to each collection situation. This could involve creating a repayment plan, liaising with the receivers, or taking legal action.

  • Step Four: Payment

    We reimburse our clients directly with debts collected from their debtor, either in stages, in part, or in full.

Healthcare Collections: The Professional Help You Need

Medical collection companies provide a significant asset to healthcare providers struggling to recover debts. With over six decades of medical collections experience, we are experts in this niche. As a result, we provide high debt recovery rates and world-class service. Although we’re based in California, we’re a nationwide debt collection agency licensed to pursue outstanding medical debts in all fifty U.S. states. 

 

We’re aware that medical bill collections can be tedious. The process involves compiling a wealth of numeric information concerning unpaid debtors, negotiating with insurance companies, and executing extensive follow-ups via mail, email, and telephone to increase the chances of a successful payment.

We understand that for smaller healthcare providers, organizing, targeting, and chasing debtors can sometimes be impractical and detrimental to other areas of your business. To recover debts effectively, your employees would have to spend their working hours contacting patients on top of completing their daily tasks.  Even if your practice has a great team, these extra tasks can often be too time consuming.

We use advanced resources and tools to streamline the collection process. These resources, combined with our experience and training, increase the percentage of medical debts recovered.

Using specialized software, we can assess priority patients based on how much they owe and their likelihood of paying. Our strategic approach allows us to work more effectively and efficiently.
